Man City dealt major Erling Haaland injury blow as Leicester get boost | OneFootball

2023/24 Premier League champions Manchester City have been dealt a potentially major blow in their pursuit for Champions League qualification. Of course, the Citizens were far from their usual selves for most of the current season. Allowing the English top flight crown to go will be a sore point for legendary Man City head coach Pep Guardiola. However, the footballing genuis who hails from Spain must get used to the fact that they won't be crowned at the end of this campaign. But what is the latest with top striker Erling Haaland?

In addition to covering the Sky Blues' squad problems and preparations, we'll also look at relegation favourites Leicester City. Luckily, and in totally differing news for the Foxes, they have received a possible boost before playing the other City at Etihad Stadium. As I say, the east Midlands team are heading straight back down to the Championship unless they begin winning almost every remaining EPL encounter. Although going away to a side such as MCFC is never a simple proposition. So will the King Power outfit benefit from a returning star?

Manchester City dealt possibly huge injury blow as Leicester City handed arguably significant boost

Whereas the northern City are somewhat near the summit of the division, the central City sadly reside in the Premier League basement. The contrast is vast between these two clubs at present.

Though the gap might perhaps have been slashed due to the fitness of a couple of players from either roster. World-class finisher Haaland is a serious doubt for Wednesday's clash.

Information is slim at the moment; Guardiola is awaiting scan results and medical notes regarding Haaland's ankle. Yet the Norwegian was videoed wearing a protective boot, which is an obvious bad sign.
